Feyenoord will entertain arch-rivals Ajax at De Kuip in the Eredivisie on Wednesday. This match was originally scheduled in August and had to be postponed due to police strikes. Both teams have 19 points in the league, though the visitors have played one fewer game.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, recording six wins. They extended their winning streak across all competitions to five games last week with a 2-0 away triumph over Utrecht in the Eredivisie. Julián Carranza scored in the first half and Quinten Timber doubled their lead in the 54th minute.

de Godenzonen are unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions. They extended their winning streak to four games last week, with a 1-0 home win over Willem II. Davy Klaassen scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the sixth minute.

The hosts secured a league double over de Godenzonen last season, recording a 10-0 win on aggregate.
De Stadionclub have an unbeaten home record in the Eredivisie in 2024, recording nine wins in 12 games.
Ajax are on a four-game winning streak in the Eredivisie, scoring 10 goals while conceding four times.

Feyenoord vs Ajax Prediction

De club aan de Maas are on a five-game winning streak, scoring 15 goals, and will look to continue their prolific run here. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five meetings against the visitors while keeping two clean sheets.

The hosts have some notable absentees as Calvin Stengs, Ayase Ueda, Santiago Giménez, and Quilindschy Hartman are nursing injuries. Brian Priske is expected to field a similar starting XI from their win over Utrecht last week.

de Godenzonen are unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions, recording nine wins. They are unbeaten in their last six away games, scoring at least three goals in three games, and will look to build on that form.

Steven Berghuis is a key absentee for them and Jordan Henderson might get the nod to start here after being on the bench last week.

While both teams head into the match in great form, the hosts have a good recent record in this fixture and they should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Feyenoord 2-1 Ajax
